You can't blame these people for holding out to get the most they can out of their properties, it was the same way in Lady Lake and Fruitland Park where there still stand a lot of "undesirable" homes just beyond Drake Road and all around TV. Just because these people cannot afford to live in a fancy house doesn't make them criminals and as a matter of fact most, but not all, of the crimes reported around TV are north of 44 and especially north of 466, very little crime down here so just keep in mind all of the crime that is surrounding "your bubble" up there. I'm not bashing the northern villages, this is just the way I feel.

Thank you for informing me and those reading this thread that some of the homes have been torn down. I'm very happy to hear the seedy areas will become strip malls. That is awesome news for those living in the southern areas.
